Wow this thread was recommended to me. Glad I still have a login here! Been ages since I ventured beyond the Dock. My two cents, outlawing FM or PCM or even AM radios is not the solution. The guy who runs much will soon see how inferior that technology is compared to DSM. Now using the old...

Sorry guys but the site is still down. Having the pros look it over as well and hope to recover the database. Hang in there as we hope to be back up soon enough.

My son is attending school up in Indiana (Rose Hullman). As part of his extracuricular activities he is on the high mileage team. College teams compete to see how far they can make a gallon of gas stretch. They are using a Briggs and straton block and have it sleaved down and run a Yamaha chain...

Yes the site was being upgraded on Sunday (security patches applied) when the update scripts ran afoul. We think it was some residue left over from the hacking episode we had about six months back. It took out the whole site as a result. Were now trying to load a fresh copy of the forum...

No witch hunt. He had two ID's and posted replies originating from his same IP address. This was in prior for sale pages to make his sale page look like it had a lot of interest. Does this seem like proper sales etiquette? Duplicate ID's is what he was removed for. He was not removed for the...

Hi guys. The site is down and believe it's due to the ice in Oklahoma. The service provider is located in Tulsa OK and I noticed all his sites, not just ours, are offline. I bet they lost power and possibly have a broken connections. If ytou have seen the news you can believe there may be some...

I found that the 1/4" square drive was a don't care in the mono running surface drive but did make a difference when I ran it in the rigger. The stub shaft provided a much smoother transition into the strut on the rigger and this was good for about 1-2MPH on the GPS. The larger solder on ferrule...

The Round Rock Model Boat Club of central Texas is pleased to announce that race flyers are now available for the Spring Fling II. This should be a great weekend of racing. See the club web site or see the entry here: RRMBC Spring Fling II Race Flyer Thanks and look forward to seeing you all...

Hi Tom, Any idea on when the club sites will be back online? Need to update our club application and some other news. Thanks.

Gas is clean but not spotless. The typical accpted ratio of gas to oil is in the 6-7 oz to one gallon of gas. Some oil residue will come out but no where near like in a nitro motor. Like a typical weed trimmer. Yes you can use rattle cans with gas but the finish will eventually be hard to...

The Round Rock Model Boat CLub (Central Texas - AUSTIN area) is hosting it's Spring Fling Race. March 22-23 See http://www.intlwaters.com/rrmbc For an entry form.

OS already makes an electronic fuel injection for nitro motors. Look at the http://www.osengines.com/engines/osmg0662.html

I was assuming he was talking about a gas (2 cycle) motor.

Most guys that have tested them say the electronic ignitions don't buy us much for the boats. Mike Hoffmeister did some dyno work and found that the electronic units didn't improve performance any. If anything it hurt as they required a large battery and controller to ride along.
